    The central role of infrastructure for our future

    In an increasingly interconnected and dynamic world, infrastructure plays a crucial role in economic development and people’s quality of life, at both national and international level. KfW IPEX-Bank is dedicated to financing projects that are crucial for the future viability of our society and thus actively contributes to the competitiveness and growth of the German and European export economy.

    We believe that infrastructure investments are heavily influenced by various factors, including digitalisation, the need to decarbonise our economies, increasing urbanisation and the continuous demand for high-quality social services. These trends require rethinking and innovative approaches in infrastructure development. The infrastructure team focuses on the following three sectors:

    Digital infrastructure

    We actively support the construction and expansion of data centres, fibre optic networks and telecommunications infrastructure. These measures are crucial to ensure effective and reliable digital connectivity, which is essential for modern society.

    Energy infrastructure

    We finance projects for electricity transmission lines, district heating, charging infrastructure, as well as grids and pipelines. We also support storage facilities and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage).

    Transport and social infrastructure

    We support global projects in the areas of airports, seaports, roads and railways, as well as public-sector construction. These initiatives contribute to improving quality of life and promoting sustainable mobility.

    We offer customised financing solutions for:

    • Large-volume structured project finance
    • Corporate finance

    Our business philosophy takes a long-term view, which fits the requirements of infrastructure projects that require long-term thinking. We have:

    • qualified technical expertise: to assess and support our projects
    • comprehensive expertise as a modelling bank: we analyse and create business plans and cash flow models and involve state-level export credit insurers to develop the optimal financing structure for our customers
